5 Stars, very tasty using ground venison, will become part of our regular rotation. Author made corrections to the directions, and I will gladly remake with cheddar cheese throughout and post photos. I followed directions and did not use any oil to brown meat, onions and garlic, but decided it was then important to use a non-stick pan. I had a kitchen emergency, so had to replace the top cheddar cheese with applewood-smoked swiss cheese, but that did not detract from the deliciousness. As an empty nester, I split recipe into thirds, using two 1 1/2 quart disposable pans, and one ovenproof 8-inch skillet. Photos are in Photo Forum: http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?p=3973409#3973409. The 8-inch skillet fed DH and me nicely, this was yummy, not too spicy, and to be oft repeated. Made for Please Review My Recipe.

    This is quite good. Like enchiladas without all the work of filling and rolling! I used ground turkey, kidney beans and subbed 2 large jalapenos for the bell pepper. I made ahead of time and zapped servings in the microwave for lunch. I am going to freeze half for use later in the motorhome!

    Yummy, yummy, yummy! I used black beans with red, yellow and orange peppers. I used salsa instead of tomato sauce to give it some bite and about twice the cheese. This was a HUGE hit at my house and it was very filling so we get to have some more cause there's lot left! This will be going into my tried and true cookbook!
